I know amiadarone affects the lungs. So I did go to the ER last week because I was nervous about what I was feeling. I got confirmation that my heart, lungs and blood work looked great. I saw my cardiologist today and he said to give it a bit. That it takes time for the lungs to Heal after surgery and for the amiodarone to be out of my system.
After heart surgery I’ve become very in tune with my body and maybe a bit paranoid of any symptom. anyone else have a similar experience? Thank you!

The need to burp feeling right after removing amiadarone sounds correlated to me-as that drug leaves your system and your lungs have a bit more to do in their own. I'm glad you got it checked out and it's not visibly diagnosable, rather perhaps an indication of your lungs still recovering. I like the idea of blood rushing to your head, rather than out; though the new sensation sounds uncomfortable to adjust to. All my best in your continued recovery-it is still early days.
I am now 9 days post surgery and notice the spirometer helps quite a lot, and also that I have more energy a few hours after getting my walking exercise in. So I’m feeling stronger every day.
Our lungs really need help healing and re-expanding. I wonder if returning to the spirometer and some deep breathing exercises might help you through this medication removal?
All my best.
